Social Justice Statement

Catholic Charities of Oregon believes that every person has inherent dignity, value and worth. Our commitment is to recognize, protect and advance that dignity by fostering communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

We know that our collective strength lies in our diversity. As we work to remove barriers and eliminate inequities, we remain steadfast in building a just and inclusive Oregon—one where all people are treated with respect and have access to opportunity.

Catholic Charities of Oregon carries this commitment forward through intentional diversity, equity and inclusion efforts across our programs, policies and partnerships. We actively recruit, support and promote staff and board members whose varied backgrounds and perspectives reflect the communities we serve. Together, we strive for a more equitable workplace, community and world.

We welcome and serve everyone, regardless of race, religion, or orientation.

For our partners

We focus on solidarity, love, dignity, family, caring for the world around us, and ensuring that basic life needs are not only met but exceeded and maintained.

For our volunteers

We focus on making sure that every bit of good is squeezed out of every minute of time given and every dollar spent. We’re effective, caring, and nonjudgmental, and we welcome everyone.

For our future team

At Catholic Charities of Oregon, we care for our employees so they can take care of others. Together, we work to make a concrete, hands-on difference in our community.
